Diamondbacks signed RHP Caleb Clay to a minor league contract.

The 26-year-old right-hander joined the Angels organization midway through the 2014 season after pitching the first half of the year in the Korean Baseball Organization. He posted a 5.09 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 45/17 K/BB ratio over 76 frames at Triple-A Salt Lake. He'll function as organizational rotation depth for the D'Backs. Sat, Nov 22, 2014 12:28:00 PM

Angels sent RHP Caleb Clay outright to Triple-A Salt Lake.

The club optioned him to Triple-A on Tuesday, and they've obviously got a better use for his spot on the 40-man roster. Clay owns a 3.78 ERA in eight minor league starts this season after being signed in June. Wed, Aug 13, 2014 06:24:00 PM

Angels optioned RHP Caleb Clay to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Clay was in the majors for only a couple of days to provide bullpen depth after Saturday's 19-inning marathon. He has a 3.78 ERA in eight starts this year at Triple-A. Tue, Aug 12, 2014 05:40:00 PM

Angels recalled RHP Caleb Clay from Triple-A Salt Lake.

He'll give the bullpen some length after Saturday's 19-inning marathon. Clay has split his time this season between Korea and Triple-A, where he holds a 3.78 ERA over eight starts. Sun, Aug 10, 2014 01:23:00 PM

A.J. Pollock (groin) told Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale that he thought he was "going to feel much better" when he ran on Friday.

Pollock was hoping to make a late-season return from a strained groin that he suffered a little over two weeks ago, but this little setback should effectively end his campaign. "He wants to get back in there," Hale said, "and obviously we’re not going to let him run the bases or get in a game until he can run 100 percent without pain."

Rosenthal says of Greinke that the Diamondbacks "are not marketing him aggressively, in part because they are reluctant to eat salary." Greinke is owed $172.5 million over the next five seasons and would receive a $2 million assignment bonus if traded. He can also block a deal to 15 teams, is 33 and is coming off a season that saw him post a 4.37 ERA. The D'Backs would surely have to absorb a chunk of his contract in order to move him, but for now it sounds like they'll hang tight.

Taijuan Walker said Thursday that he was dealing with 10 bone spurs in his right foot this past season.

Ouch. Walker said that the bone spurs impacted his ability to push off and use lower body, which would certainly explain why he faded after getting off to a strong start. He finally had surgery in October to remove a bone fragment from his ankle. The Diamondbacks acquired him as the centerpiece of the Jean Segura trade last week and clearly believe in his potential. Interestingly, Walker noted Thursday that he would like to use his two-seamer more often, especially as he makes the move to Chase Field. Walker gave up 27 home runs in just 134 1/3 innings this past season.

The Diamondbacks are still waiting for the results. Chafin was activated from the disabled list on Tuesday but hasn't appeared in any games yet. He tweaked his shoulder while warming up Friday night, which prompted the MRI. The 26-year-old holds a 6.75 ERA over 32 relief outings this season.
